* Jim's itinerary saying Canada border "via Burke Lake" changed on the last day. He had intended to come down off the peaks to the lake, then up old forest roads to the border, but he found he could continue along the ridges straight to the border (where he found a big pile of grizzly scat neatly on each side of the marker) then came back to Burke Lake. ~ Patricia M.
